i think what my coach was getting at was that with low expeirence (me), landing with rears could be more dangerous because the stall point occurs much quicker and with less input...........

but i understand where you guys are coming from with being prepared for when the shit hits the fan.

question - i have lost a toggle on a slider down BASE jump and landed uneventfully with a combination of rears and one toggle...........would you do the same with a skydive canopy or would you use just your rears?
